Wow devan your marine cordata virus sure sounds scary because people die from dehydration. I would not want to die of dehydration or be dependent on IV fluid for my life especially if I was living in a developing country where medical care is sparse and the fluid would get expensive to continue over time. Hiding it in sea life is smart because not much research into ocean life has been done and many people would not think to look under the water for a deadly disease. It’s kind of ironic for someone to die of dehydration from a water based disease that could easily spread internationally since fish do not go through or respect borders. Since it spreads through saliva would it also spread through kissing?
